    I've done it in-db, no server hacks. Require 1.8.0x though (for a clean
    implementation)

    Check $blocked_verbs at Tecfa <http://tecfamoo.unige.ch:7777> or
    $blocked_methods at E_MOO <http://tecfasun1.unige.ch 4243>
    The code might be accessible through some object/code browsers... I'm not
    sure... I guess I should put the code and documentation on a web page...

    But if you just want wizard to make all verbs with the same name on all
    objects non-overridable, you might want to implement something with a
    global property (like $protected_verbs_name) I would suggest you being very
    cautious about the wildcards tho.

    Good luck.
